Health
and Safety
Fosters are a Health & Safety certified construction company; health and safety being key to business excellence and great community.
Our Committment
We actively promote work safe practices as part of our culture, following the highest standards possible – not because we must, but because we’re committed to the protection of our people and our community.
The provision, maintenance, and continuous improvement of a safe and healthy work environment is extended to all Fosters employees and project stakeholders, including subcontractors.
We actively partner with those businesses who look at the overall wellbeing of the greater community.
Maintaining the trust of our community isn’t a static process; it requires continual innovation, documentation, and auditing.
Our dedicated team is constantly involved on every Fosters site, looking into:
- Risk assessment, problem solving
- Safety hazards
- Induction on site
- Proactive risk management
- Inspections, audits, cause analysis

A natural leader and problem solver, Jordan has worked some interesting jobs, from zookeeping to construction and mining, in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
Witnessing too many accidents that could (and should) have been avoided led him into Health & Safety, where he aspires to use the skills and experience that he has accumulated from working on a diverse range of worksites to ensure the safety of others.
Online reporting
Employing industry-leading digital solutions, like Acuite, enables our site managers, employees and subcontractors to track and maintain high levels of compliance.
It means we can see who is on site and make sure everyone gets home safely at the end of the day. And we can offer full transparency of our Health and Safety records.
Fosters are PREQUAL prequalified
This demonstrates our commitment to health and safety through every step of a project. Achieving PREQUAL Tōtika shows that our health and safety systems and processes have been independently assessed and meet expectations of Tōtika requirements.
PREQUAL Tōtika ensures we are well-placed to perform construction work in a safe and healthy manner, promoting occupational safety at every level.
To maintain our PREQUAL Tōtika certification, we must continuously identify and analyse risk, improve our processes, and ensure good communication throughout the business.
